It’s sometimes tough being a seal…
Probably Neuralized if you are over there in the US! A spot of Photoshop skullduggery…
There’s nothing worse than having rusty bollards…
The air temperature here in Banff (Aberdeenshire, Scotland) is 9C (48F) today. The water temperature is 4C (37F). They must be mad!
Don’t you just hate it when this happens…
They make them out of stone here in Scotland
An odd name for a boat. Todger – another word for penis!

These brave ladies were swimming in the sea at Banff, Aberdeenshire, Scotland today. The sea temperature here in Banff today is 10C(50F).
The sea in Scotland cutting up rough today…
Buckie Lighthouse – erected in 1913
Probably better known as lobster pots outside Scotland
Just another beautiful day in Scotland
It would appear I have two left feet!
Living where we do, it isn’t unusual for us to see one of these ships when we look out of the kitchen window.
Probably best not to know what flows down this pipe…
A gathering of chickens on a Scottish island
Portsoy!
With a digital twist…
The picture says it all…
A wonderful sunny afternoon in Banff, Aberdeenshire
One of the heroic ‘small’ boats which rescued allied soldiers from the beach in Dunkirk at the start of World War 2. More information here.
Join me in a Taverna right next to the sea in Hora Sfakion, Crete. Listen to people enjoying a fine meal and you will also hear the sounds of the waves washing up on the nearby beach. What a wonderful place to enjoy Greek food.
The Pong Boat. When I first noticed the boat I thought it had PONG written on the back but, on closer inspection, it turns out it is a boat selling natural SPONGE, sea shells and so on.
Join me as I have a bit of fun with my Mashine Mikro and create an electronic seascape soundscape complete with buoys and lighthouses…but only synthesised sound of course. If only I knew what I was doing (I think it is called making it up as you go along?!).
This is what happens when you put the sound of surf crashing onto rocks (see my previous post) through Adobe Audition filters (flanger, phases and echo). Quite a noise! Best with headphone on.
Join me at a bird colony on a rock which sticks out of the sea just West of Portsoy, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. If you listen, you will hear the sea washing around the column of rock and the birds, who cling to and nest of the sheer rock face (see image) and make an almighty noise. You can hear the natural echo as the bird sounds bounce off the cliff faces which surround the rock column. You will hear seagulls, gannets, razorbills, cormorants and many other birds – all squawking away. You’ll hear ‘peak squawking’ at about 2 minutes.
Recorded using my parabolic mic and a Zoom H6 (my Zoom F6 still missing in transit!)
Join me on the beach at Portsoy, Scotland where the stream that flows down from the hills crossed the beach and flows into the sea.
Join me and listen to the waves crashing onto Portsoy beach. Portsoy is in Aberdeenshire, Scotland and was the setting for a Peaky Blinders episode last year. Portsoy has some wonderful walks in and around this most delightful town. The harbour is also well worth a visit. By the way, I used my panoramic microphone (1 dish, two mics) to record the sound.
Join me as I submerge in my own private submarine…

One of our smaller visitors…
Compared to most, this trawler is one of the smallest I have seen on the slipway at Macduff Harbour.
